Having been in Israel at Chanukah, and experienced real Israeli Sufganyot nothing on offer here yet equals them, both a matter of size and the way the dough is fried which often gives it a slight crunch almost like a zepola. Good Sufganyot are available here great sufganyot requires a trip.

For at least the last twenty years Hanukkah donuts have always been available specifically around this time of year. Neither donuts nor latkes are healthy, so I would get fewer and fewer every year. I just read Dr. Fuhrman's Eat to Live book--great read even for me, healthy and fit--and this is the first year I am getting none of them.

Hmm... unless I can include the book as part of the party gift. Now, I bet few if any will touch such food after reading all the science, and who wants to spoil a party?

L'Chaim!
